And here it is:

The ThunarVfsInfo related parts of ThunarVFS are now 
threaded/thread-safe, which also means that libexo is now longer used 
for the MIME typing stuff (I guess I'll remove ExoMimeInfo and 
ExoMimeDatabase again). I imported the xdgmime module (with the libexo 
patches) into thunar-vfs. But due to various problems in with the 
xdgmime package, we'll need to replace it in the future.

The overall memory usage has slightly increased (it's now at around 3MB 
after surfing through the file system for some time), but it's still 
below Nautilus, Konqueror and Xffm. There are some bits we can safe, but 
that will be optimized later.
